Chappell reassured board members that at this point he would be asking for a non-binding estimate for the roof replacement costs.

Chappell, who has only been on the job for a few months, presented board members with a revised organizational chart and a proposed school improvement model. Both met with approval.

High School principal Roger Mellow and elementary school principal Dave Covington were both in attendance and echoed their agreement with Chappell's proposals.

"I've talked with most of the staff and have their support," said Chappell whose school improvement model includes various administrative, division and building leadership teams.

Chappell also spoke to the board about his plans to get involved in the community. "I want to visit with local businesses and church and civic organizations to tell them about our school system."
